    in the Churchyard which belonged to Protestant families. One vault was owned by Glousters and a Priest named Father O'Brien was buried there. Father O'Brien was murdered in Clorane, because he saw people murdering somebody else and the murderers thought he would be a spy and he would have to be a witness to them and they murdered him. Another vault was there owned by Westropps who were also a Protestant family.
    There is another Churchyard in Mellon and not far from that is Kilurach Church-yard. There are two vaults in Mellon, one owned by Westropps and Lyods owned the other one, there is also the ruins of a big Church there.
